Massage

Massage is one of the oldest, simplest forms of therapy. Massage does much more than create a pleasant sensation on the skin, it also works on the soft tissues (the muscles, tendons, and ligaments) to improve muscle tone. Although it largely affects those muscles just under the skin, massage benefits may also reach the deeper layers of muscle and possibly even the organs themselves.

Spiritual Direction

Spiritual Direction (spiritual mentoring or companionship) is the ancient tradition of “Holy Listening” in which one seeker helps another become more deeply aware of, and responsive to the “still small voice of God”. Spiritual Direction is not psychotherapy or counseling; is not about problem solving or fixing anything. The focus is on the seeker’s prayer life and on discerning God’s presence and action in daily life. The underlying question is “Where is God in all this?”

The silence and solitude of a retreat often provide the opportunity to “listen” to your life – your true self, your relationships, your wounds, your faith, your longings, and to listen for God’s voice in the midst of it all.

If you’ve ever wished for a safe place to just speak what’s in your heart without fear of judgment, this may be the opportunity. A session is prayerful and confidential and lasts about an hour.

Spiritual Direction is available at Well of Mercy for a suggested donation of $50. Jane Motsinger, a graduate of Hesychia School for Spiritual Direction is available by appointment. Contact Jane at 704-539-5449 prior to your arrival at Well of Mercy for more information and to schedule an appointment.

Thank you so much for sharing this special place. You have taught me a lot about vision and making dreams a reality…this is a gift of God, as are you both.

Inevitably when guests arrive at Well of Mercy they may become aware that
they are standing in a very unique space.... a sacred space.

Often the question comes to mind "how do I conduct myself in such a place"?
The answer is pretty simple. To help guests feel comfortable and relaxed
during their stay, Well of Mercy has created a gentle helpful guideline for
new visitors.

We want all guests to feel welcome to pray, meditate, or sit quietly and
find their own way to reflect. We would like to share this piece with you
as it will be posted on our website and made available to visitors upon
arrival.
